Wild cheers erupted from tens of thousands of demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square after word spread that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has resigned. Demonstrators chanted "Egypt is free!" upon hearing the news.

LaDairus, do you add the extraneous spaces in the links that you post?

As a new poster, I am not allowed to link, so that's the only way I can "link" is by disabling the CP blocker by putting spacing between that which the CP blocker is looking for, things like www and .com

I know the thread has derailed, but I feel I must share what's on my heart in a couple sentences.

Iran's failure to overthrow their autocrats was a moral victory that put down an emotional deposit that Tunisia, Egypt, and soon other countries have started to cash. This is the progress liberalism in particular has been pining for, for ages.

This progress will bring more of the Middle East with it, it totally will. The only question will be when. It's possible that the entire region could democratize in a lifetime.

At that point, the world will continue to get so much smaller, peace will surely expand, freedom will reign, and justice will continue to attract the arc of history as it moves forward.

It is their country, their home, their lives and livelihood and it is their decision not yours.

As long as their elections are fair we shouldn't have a problem with it.

You would think any American would understand considering we had to run off a tyrannical government in order to gain freedom.

Your sympathy is stronger with people half a world away who generally consider you a disgraceful infidel instead of with someone in your own country who makes it possible for you and millions of other Americans to get healthcare when you need it. There's something screwed up about that.

Really? I wasn't aware that it prevents one from just posting a URL.

Anyway, so is your Jew blood on your mother or father's side? Both?

Peace be with Egypt.

You are attempting to link what happened in Iran with this/these? Why or how?
